I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel It's all that I can give to you, my dear And when you come in quick to steal a kiss My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear

My brother and I were working on an edit about the localization name changes and I left him alone for FIVE MINUTES and came back to this like “I couldn’t remember the fan translation names… or the new official ones… so I improvised…”

Dear Anonymous,

Never played it, but I'd like to take a go of it.

- Horace Knightly

[kugamoogle]

Absolutely losing it at this. It's one giant sticker of what appears to be every 2D Ace Attorney character.

And while there are some duplicate characters, they're at least in different game styles or different expressions

Except for, inexplicably, two identical Bronco Knights.

Anyways they had a magnet version so I'm putting this on my car.

Okay so we're getting better name wise but how the actual fuck do you pronounce Dogen's name????

[k20spock]

HIS NAME WONT BE HORSE ANYMORE

[narsh-poptarts]

horace knightly when i get you

[people-can-be-tamed]

Hey buddy, if you had found out the truth about your dads before getting knightly killed, as in your father killed his instead of the other way around, would you have still set up Horace’s death or would it have changed the outcome?

"Don't call me buddy. I'm not your friend."

"And, um, well... it's hard to say. If I knew, I probably would have kept him alive for longer to figure what to do with him."

"I mean, he still tied me up and almost killed us both! He could've been of use to me for a bit and would've died either way!"

".........I still wouldn't have killed him so soon, though."

Rating AAI2 localization names, part 1!

part 2 HERE

Sebastian Debeste --> Eustace Winner

2/10, I hate it. I hate it so much. They named him 'Useless Whiner'. Why are they so damn mean to him??? Only isn't a 0/10 because admittedly he does look & act like a Eustace.

Justine Courtney --> Verity Gavélle

9/10, very pretty! Not as blatantly obvious as the fan-translation name, but still kinda on the nose with the whole gavel thing. Fits her well!

Ray Shields --> Eddie Fender

8/10. Very on the nose, but not in a bad way! I can accept it, it fits him.

Di-Jung Huang --> Di-Jung Wang

10/10! It's pretty much the same which is a plus, and I've gotta give them props for keeping the subtle 'the wrong one' wordplay! I'm completely happy with this.

Ethan Rooke --> Bastian Rook

7/10, not bad. A lot more on the nose, but it sounds kinda cool so it gets a pass from me.

Horace Knightly --> Bronco Knight

5/10. I...I've gotta give them props for still managing a horse joke, but oh my god. Fucking Bronco, really?? It matches his personality, but just...ugh.

Nicole Swift --> Tabby Lloyd

...y'know what, 7.5/10. It's violently on the nose, but I think it's funny so it gets a pass.

EDIT

Simon Keyes --> Simeon Saint

eh....solid 8/10. It doesn't roll off the tongue as well, but I get what they were going for and it does fit him. I'm just autistic and don't like it when a word doesn't sound/feel right, I'm not gonna dock points for that.

Dear TDW,

I see him like Horace Knightly, so I suppose I trust him as much as I trust Horace.

- Simon Knightly

[bowsers-keep]

Gonna be honest I do not care what anyone says about the official translations of the Ace Attorney Investigation characters names because Bronco Knight is objectively the funnier than Horace Knightly on account of there's a maybe accidental extra pun in the fact that Bronco is one letter off from Branco (Portuguese for White) making him White Knight. This is funny for a multitude of reasons.

"They could be twins, for all we know!"

You know, at least with Horace Knightly (sorry Bronco Knight just doesn't sound right to me) I can tell he's meant to resemble a horse. His neck in a cast looks longer, and the mullet lowkey resembles a horse's mane

Why does Luke Atmey's hair look like lightning? Is he meant to look like Batman's Penguin? He's iconic but he always confused me lol
